I agree with the Iwaki durability. May be the best pumps ever made. I use to rum a couple smaller ones. I was reading on RC about Lifereef skimmers, etc and one guy has been running his on an Iwaki for over 10yrs. without a hitch.
I have been thinking about ordering another to replace the Mag 12 that will drive it.
And Im with you. If I added up all I have spent on various pumps I would likely pass out.....
